It's been several days since I returned to San Jose from the ranch.
"This woman didn't call me for several days, and she never came to see me." In the clear afternoon, Chen Mo went to the park lake to fish as usual.
I just recently saw a saying on the Internet: Only idle people know how to fish, and only a broken car needs a spare tire...
I don’t know if Chen Mo’s car is broken or not, it’s just a leisurely ride.
Just as he was about to call Ai Li, his cell phone rang. Chen Mo thought it was Ai Li and smiled softly: "Hi, Xiao Bai..." It was a call from Bai Xiaoou.
"In the company?" Bai Xiaoou asked.
"Well, I'm back from New York."
"I'm back in Napa. I found the CEO of River Valley Company for you. Let's take a look at it tomorrow and you can hand it over to him."
"Okay." Chen Mo picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea: "You didn't even say come and see me when you came back to San Francisco. We haven't been together for a long time. Oh, tell me, what's wrong with you?
.”
"What's wrong? I'm just very busy."
"Being busy is no excuse. To be honest, we should find time to get together, and Luo Chen. The relationship between brothers cannot be alienated..."
"Okay. After I have arranged the work here, we will form a bureau and everyone will get together. Lao Mo..."
"What?"
Bai Xiaoou hesitated for a while: "Jennifer and I filed for divorce. Since marrying Jennifer, she seems to have changed. As I told you before..."
Chen Mo used to be envious of Bai Xiaoou's marriage. How did he get to where he is now? Chen Mo knows a little bit about it...
Jennifer is a nice person, but she is too emotional. In order to let Hill and her three best friends live a better life, she has made herself a "strong woman".
Probably, that's it.
actually……
Bai Xiaoou is also responsible for getting to this point. Bai Xiaoou is too busy and focuses on work.
But this is not a good thing for the company.
"Xiao Bai, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
"explain."
"Don't just look for problems from Jennifer. You are different from the person you were before," Chen Mo said.
Bai Xiaoou was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"You used to spend a lot of time with Jennifer, but now, are you too busy? I have read some books recently. The book said that if the pillar of a family is busy, it means that the family is about to break up." Chen Mo paused for two seconds:
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"listen."
"I feel that you are too busy. Like me, my river valley ranch is not bad, right? I am very relaxed every day. When I am at the ranch, I just sit in the office, drink tea, read documents, and occasionally enter the ranch.
Just take a walk and see what a leader should do well. If a company leader is busy all day long, it proves one thing that he lacks ability. What do you think?"
"Maybe." Bai Xiaoou said with a depressed smile.
Huafeng Group is getting bigger and bigger, and has to be busy with many things.
I don’t know which pretentious person said:
In a country, if the emperor is busy, it means that the country is about to perish.
If an army has a busy general, it means that the army is about to perish.
If a family's main pillar is busy, it means that the family is about to break up.
In a company, if the boss is busy, it means that the company is about to go bankrupt...
If a company leader is busy all day, it proves one thing: lack of ability.
Bai Xiaoou is not without ability. After all, he single-handedly created the current situation of Huafeng Group. Without ability, there would not be the current Huafeng Group.
Moreover, Bai Xiaoou has a good vision and can grasp the overall situation very well.
But Bai Xiaoou has a shortcoming. In some aspects, Bai Xiaoou and Chen Mo are very similar... Birds of a feather flock together, and people who have similarities are more likely to become friends.
Bai Xiaoou is also an extremely insecure person, which is manifested in the fact that he likes to do everything himself.
Especially after Garrison Investment Company withdrew its capital, the current CEO of Huafeng Group has probably become a decoration.
Huafeng Group is currently maintaining a trend of rapid profitability, but it will not work for a long time.
Chen Mo is also an insecure person, but he... really can't manage too many things, so he has to let go of many things. Fortunately, there is a capable Brett by his side...
Brett is really strong, and this is reflected in the employment aspect, that is, he has assembled a strong comprehensive team for the ranch, which has made the current River Valley Ranch possible.
"The boss of a small company needs to do everything by himself. If you, the boss of a big company, are still so busy, is it because there are no available talents in the company? If you are so busy, it would be strange if your family doesn't have problems... Even I doubt that we
Is there something wrong with the relationship between the two of us?"
Bai Xiaoou smiled bitterly: "If you have time tonight, let's go out for a drink."
"Beiwan?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Anywhere will do."
Chen Mo thought for a while: "Then Beiwan, I'll go find Jennifer later."
Bai Xiaoou said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
Fishing is no longer allowed.
Chen Mo stretched out and got up from the recliner, called Jason and asked him to pack his things, and walked to the parking lot.
After sitting in the car, Chen Mo thought of Ellie again. He drove past the community where Ellie lived and drove the car in by some mistake.
A group of young people were holding a barbecue party in Bella's yard. Chen Mo parked the car by the road and looked inside... There was a red McLaren parked in the yard, which seemed to be a 540c.
Ellie sat quietly in front of the barbecue grill, grilling meat. Next to her, two boys, one tall and one fat, who had eaten together before, showed their attentiveness...
Chen Mo smiled bitterly, looked away, shook his head, started the car and left.
Seeing a large group of young people bustling around, Chen Mo felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Do you feel uncomfortable watching others lively?
Or maybe Ellie didn't call her...
who cares.
Chen Mo is an adult, an adult in his thirties. He will not be unhappy because of this matter.
Going all the way north and passing the Golden Gate Bridge, Chen Mo took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood and first went to Jennifer's store.
This is Chen Mo's first time coming to the store. It's quite big, almost two hundred square meters.
The left side is the vegetable and meat section, and the right side is the snack area.
Hill was sitting behind the cashier applying nail polish. When he saw a customer coming in, he looked up and said, "Chen Mo?"
"Hi." Chen Mo greeted.
"Hi."
"I'm looking for Jennifer, is she there?"
"Jennifer..." Hill shouted loudly: "Chen Mo is here."
Jennifer was counting the items in the supermarket with a notebook when she heard a shout and came over: "What's the matter?"
Chen Mo shrugged: "Do you have time? Let's chat."
"Bai Xiaoou asked you to come?"
"I'm his boss." Chen Mo smiled: "He can't call me."
Jennifer was slightly startled...
Hill was also stunned. How could Chen Mo be Bai Xiaoou's boss?
"Okay, where can we talk?" Jennifer said.
"There is a nice cafe at the pier. Let's go and sit there."
"ok."
Jennifer took off her apron and followed Chen Mo out of the supermarket.
Chen Mo pointed to his car, walked over and opened the door for Jennifer, making an invitation.
Jennifer sat in, waited for Chen Mo to get in the car, and said: "If you have anything to say, tell me now. There is no need to go to the coffee shop."
"I think it's better to go to the coffee shop."
Jennifer gritted her teeth: "Did Bai Xiaoou ask you to bring the divorce agreement?"
Chen Mo pursed his lips and spread his hands...
"Tell him not to think about it, I'm pregnant. If I don't agree to divorce, he can't divorce." Jennifer said in a bad mood.
